OFFICIAL CGMINER mining software thread for linux/win/osx/mips/arm/r-pi 4.11.1

[vayvanne]

I left it waiting a few hours until morning and it did not connect. Will try again and report if it still does not. Yes, I have only one U2 and seems it is best at 200MHz. Thanks.

[Cyper_BLC]

anyone know how can i change cgminer executable in antminer S4?

/etc/init.d/cgminer.sh stop
wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/antminer/s4/4.6.1-141018/cgminer
mv /usr/bin/cgminer /usr/bin/cgminer.bak
chmod +x cgminer
mv cgminer /usr/bin/cgminer
/etc/init.d/cgminer.sh restart

this is not working
i change 10 times but when S4 restarted, old one comes again. i cant place new cgminer in S4
is BBB angstrom blocking my modifies???

another question is nicehash release this version of cgminer
is this safe ? i seen kolivas's cgminer is 300-400Kb but this is 1700kb ??

Are you solo mining? Maybe you want to try http://solo.ckpool.org/

[Perlover]

My console is also displaying a lot of the LIBUSB_ERROR_IO. Any ideas?

I got same errors in RasPi
After i recompiled with --with-libusb but before i done:

cd cgminer-distrib
sudo make unistall # should be done for uninstalling *.h files of libusb support which were installed by cgminer. Without this you will get binary linked with non-system lib
sudo make clean
./configure --with-libusb ...
make && sudo make install

[Perlover]

Try this one line change in usbutils.c line 893:

Thanks, i done
Now it is working. I will report about results.

And please i want to notice that before core files i see in this time in /var/log/kern.log

New release: Version 4.8.0, 25th November 2014

- Rockminer driver updates for better support of New R-Box and RK Box:
-- Filter out the bulk of the duplicate shares. This will make the hashrate appear lower, but no pool would have been honouring them as valid shares anyway.
-- Substantially lower hardware errors.
-- Lower CPU usage.
-- Slightly higher effective hashrate.

Is the lower CPU usage (Raspberry Pi) by all miners or only for the Rockminer?

regards

It's under Rockminer driver updates..... So lower cpu usage with Rockminer i believe

Hi, i need some help, "--balance" command can be added at the end of the command line or is necessary that is placed at the begin, to restore the default pool strategy can i use "--failover" command.

Thanks in advance W_M

PS is available in CGMINER for Innosilicon A2 chips (scrypt) ?

You can put --balance anywhere you want.  I usually put the command line switch's before the pool info though.

I don't think there is a --failover switch as that is the default.

CGMiner is a Bitcoin miner software so it doesn't support scrypt.

I need some help enabling privileged API access on an Ant S3.  I've tried modifying /etc/init.d/cgminer to include --API-ALLOW W:192.168.0/24, and also --API-ALLOW W:192.168.0.194, and cgminer never starts up. 

Can someone shed some light on this?

M

The instructions I've been using are:

• SSH into the AntMiner (user/password: root/root)
• Edit /etc/config/cgminer (e.g. using vi)
• Modify the api_allow argument to read option api_allow 'W:127.0.0.1,W:192.168.0.1/24' (for a 192.168.0.1-based network)
• Locate the line beginning with PARAMS= and change it accordingly: PARAMS="$AOPTIONS $POOL1 $POOL2 $POOL3 $_pb $_ow $_bec --api-listen --api-allow $_aa --bitmain-checkn2diff --bitmain-hwerror --queue 4096"
• Restart the S3 (e.g. using sudo reboot)

The 2nd change is specifically from --api-network to --api-allow $_aa (thanks to kano for discovering).

Where do I find the api_allow arg?  I'm not seeing it in there, and step 3 doesn't jive with step 4 if it's the same line that today has --api-network.

I'm sorry I'm missing something.

My bad, I missed a step in copying them over from my wiki (it's split into S1 and S3 there). Let me try again:

• SSH into the AntMiner (user/password: root/root)
• Edit /etc/config/cgminer (e.g. using vi)
• Modify the api_allow argument to read option api_allow 'W:127.0.0.1,W:192.168.0.1/24' (for a 192.168.0.1-based network)

I'm sorry, I'm not seeing the line that has the api_allow argument (step #3 above).  As far as I can tell that line doesn't exist.  Lines with a # are commented out, right?  There is one AOPTIONS and one PARAMS, and neither has api_allow in it.

Try this one line change in usbutils.c line 893:
Change:

Code:

#define DO_USB_STATS 1

to:

Code:

#define DO_USB_STATS 0

Now i got new core file after this changes

Hi all,

I've got number of the Avalon Nano (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=779612.msg8841428;topicseen#msg8841428). I have successfuly downloaded and compiled fresh version of cgminer
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon_nano#Cgminer_for_Avalon_nano

but ir can't detect devices whatever i did. I was trying
several versions including lastone from here
https://github.com/Canaan-Creative/cgminer/tree/avalon-usb
with and without the "--with-system-libusb" option

Would be appreciate for help and hints.

PS. bfgminer detects devices just fine and start hashing, but there another problem... it stall in minutes and need to be restarted. So my hopes targeted to cgminer.

I'm *NIX user (if it may concern...)

[salfter]

- Added an --enable-forcecombo option to allow building of driver combinations with drivers that are normally built standalone.

I'm rebuilding now...it's on a Raspberry Pi, so it'll be a while.

...and it's now rebuilt and running.

today, after a few days of stable hashing I have got this:

The Oscam runs but when i start cgminer i have this message in cgminer:

[2014-12-03 17:57:21] FAIL: USB get_lock not found (1:5)
[2014-12-03 17:57:23] Icarus detect (1:5) failed to initialise (incorrect device?)

and at the same time in Oscam:

EA3410 r orf-ice [mouse] ERROR: IO_Serial_GetStatus: ioctl(TIOCMGET): Input/output error
EA3410 r orf-ice [mouse] Error getting card status.

so i hope everyone has a solution???
